[SOLVED] Is it possible to Fix my Relocated Sector Count?

[SUDEEP SARKER goku]

For some days while starting the computer, it did not start normally.. It stopped in bios and made the cracking sound of my hard disk, so I got worried and did a S.M.A.R.T check on the hard Disk Sentinel.
It found Some error on my 3 Terabyte Hard-drive ,
Relocated Sector Count : 181
Relocation Event Count: 11
Current Pending Sector Count: 54
off-line Uncorrectable Sector Count: 25

I saw YouTube video and changed the offset values and Run Crystal disk info.
it found: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nSp-0JzsLLAORHQrTkrTmg4qQFEMEj9t/view?usp=sharing

Relocated Sector Count : 194 (I think)
Current Pending Sector Count: 200 (I think)
off-line Uncorrectable Sector Count: 200 (I think)

I was thinking to take it to a hard disk professional thinking if he can fix it. So before going to him I wanted to make sure if my hard disk can be fixed or not?
Should I change the hard disk ASAP or try to see how it goes?

WD30EZRZ is WD blue (not black).

WD red and purple are usually fine. But you have to check specs of each particular model.

I am planning to buy this one:

Will this be fine?

Sir i will take the WD Purple as you suggested but I am curious to ask...

is this one also CMR : https://www.startech.com.bd/seagate-skyhawk-2tb-hdd

Does 64 Mb buffer size meaning it is CMR?

If you're cloning from a failed drive, those 28 pending sectors may cause cloning to fail.
I'd just copy data manually over to the new drive.

BTW your failed drive is 3TB. New one is only 2TB.
Will all data from old drive fit into new one?

Yes. The cloning is finished successfully just now, because before buying i calculated, I needed total (1.02TB+ 545GB ) storage so 2TB was fine.
This is the Benchmark:

Average 145MB/s is very good result for a mechanical drive.

Games Runs Smooth As before. Thank you very much for all your help.

Last question. Should I try to fix my old drive and use it as a External Drive?
i have heard you can make any hard-drive portable if you give it some kind of jacket (From my Technician ). Should i do it? Or should i totally forget about that drive?

Keep it as internal drive. Use it for some non-important stuff.
If it dies, then no big deal.
